Danae Filpula Ankney joined SAR+ in 2025, bringing a background in high-end, single family residential design from her home state of Montana. Growing up in the mountain west has provided Danae with a unique perspective on the importance of thoughtful, empathetic design that also respects the beautiful natural environments that surround us. Currently engaged in larger-scale projects at SAR+, she is eager to expand her expertise by designing spaces that foster community and contribute to the evolving character of Denver.

Danae holds a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Design and a Master of Arts in Architecture from Montana State University. Throughout her education and early professional experience she developed a strong appreciation for the ability of architectural design to bring people together and create meaningful connections. This is a perspective she plans to bring to her work at SAR+.

Outside of architecture you can find Danae spending time in the mountains, racing sailboats, or exploring the music and food scene of Denver.
